The whole point of decentralization is you don't need leaders, the problem is not the lack of leaders. The problem is that the system is flawed, which to be fair is hardly surprising seeing as this is one of the first attempts at a decentralized social platform.
The fact that you pay upvote bots and they give you back money is just ridiculous. Voting for yourself should not count either. The votes of real people are diluted.
Steemit (which I mention above) is NOT decentralized.
I can agree with you on Steem.
